The Robert Anderson Gallery and The Denver Collage Club opens the Month of Photography with a large and powerful exhibition of collage works from some 20 artists from Denver, the US and Europe. The opening begins at 5 pm, Friday, April 3, 2015. The exhibition runs through May 30, 2015.

Launched by Denver-based photographer Mark Sink and artist Mario Zoots, The Denver Collage Club is an international group of artists exploring a wide variety ideas on contemporary
collage. Beauty is the theme of the Anderson Gallery exhibition.

In this inaugural Denver Collage Club exhibition, the Robert Anderson
Gallery is proud to present a diverse body of collage works that promise
to intrigue, provoke and enchant. The evocative images in this
exhibition carry on the rich tradition of unique and creative art
making.

Collage artists began to appear after World War I. Using a wide range materials – often printed in newspapers, magazines, or even as wall paper – artists reassembled these fragments to create visually dynamic and compelling images. Early collage works often related to political or social issues. Some of the earliest innovators were Picasso, Braque, Kurt Schwitters, Man Ray, Raoul Haussmann, Max Ernst, Hannah Hoch, Joseph Cornell, Ray Johnson, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns among many others; collage is a mainstay of contemporary art and continues to reinvent itself.

SOFT FIX, 2015 is a soft core porn assemblage work in the American Peep Show booth that is part of the Pressure Washing exhibition at Converge Gallery. The crucifix is made from prostitutes' calling cards, and arranged in a grid to form a crucifix.

Reactions to the work thus far have ranged from horrified to mystified to gorgeous to outrageous, John Yogodzinksi, Converge Gallery director told me. My idea here is to literally cross up the male gaze with paid liberation, and examine the contradictions of desire, belief, consumer life and private spiritual life.

My
text work, Tuscany, 2005, will be included (God willing the Postal
Service delivers them)... The pieces, a triptych, are essentially Bird,
Cloud, Sky (in Italian). Each canvas is 21.0 x 29.7cm, and is gouache on canvas.If you are interested in these works, please contact
here: TUSCANY.

Feel free to use the buttons for Twitter and FB and other stuff to send this around. Thank you.
